Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this elementary textbook, Philip S. Peek draws on his twenty-five years of teaching experience to present the ancient Greek language in an imaginative and accessible way that promotes creativity, deep learning, and diversity.

Readers memorize the top 250 most frequently occurring ancient Greek words, the essential word endings, the eight parts of speech, and the grammatical concepts they will most frequently encounter when reading authentic ancient texts. Analysis and logic exercises enable the translation and parsing of genuine ancient Greek sentences, with compelling reading selections in English and in Greek offering starting points for contemplation, debate, and reflection. A series of embedded Learning Tips help teachers and students to think in practical and imaginative ways about how they learn. This combination of memory-based learning and concept- and skill-based learning gradually builds the confidence of the reader, teaching them how to learn by guiding them from a familiarity with the basics to proficiency in reading this beautiful language. Ancient Greek I: A 21st-Century Approach is written for high-school and university students, but is an instructive and rewarding text for anyone who wishes to learn ancient Greek.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ... and by an admirable induction has established a number of propositions as to the nature of the art of the Hellenistic world; whence we may learn much as to the emotions and perceptions of that world. Of the Greek kingdoms of Bactria and Cabul scarcely any memorial remains, except the abundant and interesting coins from which General Cunningham has been able to extract a surprising amount of information. Using these and other sources, and especially the masterly history of Droysen, who has brought all the rivulets of information together and united them into a stream of narrative, we will endeavour slightly to sketch the main characteristics of Hellenism, and to estimate the effects of the conquests of Alexander on Greece and Macedonia, on the various provinces of the old Persian Empire, in fact on the whole Oriental world, from Epirus on the west to India on the east, and from Pontus in the north to Egypt and Libya on the south. How slight such a sketch must be within the present limits of space, it is hardly necessary to point out . In no country were the changes produced by Alexander more striking than in his own Macedonia. Before his time and his father's, that land was a kingdom of the old Homeric type, whose ruler was aval; avSpcov, but no despotic lord, and which was full of a sturdy and free population of ploughmen and shepherds. Even Philip never places his effigy on his coins nor calls himself King. But the Antigonid princes who afterwards ruled in Macedon were despots of the Asiatic type. They wore the diadem, were surrounded by a court, and were the centre of a bureaucratic and military system. They regarded their people as taxable property and as material for the manufacture of armies. And that people itself was sadly fallen...

This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wonderful…a thoughtful discussion of what made [the Greeks] so important, in their own time and in ours." —Natalie Haynes, Independent The ancient Greeks invented democracy, theater, rational science, and philosophy. They built the Parthenon and the Library of Alexandria. Yet this accomplished people never formed a single unified social or political identity. In Introducing the Ancient Greeks, acclaimed classics scholar Edith Hall offers a bold synthesis of the full 2,000 years of Hellenic history to show how the ancient Greeks were the right people, at the right time, to take up the baton of human progress. Hall portrays a uniquely rebellious, inquisitive, individualistic people whose ideas and creations continue to enthrall thinkers centuries after the Greek world was conquered by Rome. These are the Greeks as you’ve never seen them before.
